Salem set to return in April; first look at Stuart Townsend

As cool as I thought WGN America’s “Salem” looked, I never actually got around to watching it. Now that season two is on its way, I’ll probably have to fix that; unless you guys tell me in the comments how terrible it is, in which case I’ll continue to not watch it. For you “Salem”-watchers, however, WGN America just announced that the show will return on Sunday, April 5, 2015, at 10:00 p.m. ET/ 9:00 p.m. CT. Nice. Above is your first look at Stuart Townsend in Season 2.

Season 2 opens at the dawn of the witch war set into motion at the end of Season 1 with its catalyst and Salem’s deadliest witch, Mary Sibley (Janet Montgomery; “Made in Jersey,” “Human Target”), at the center of the mayhem as she faces off against new and old adversaries vying for her throne.

“Salem” is executive produced by Brannon Braga, Adam Simon, Kelly Souders, Brian Peterson, and Prospect Park’s Josh Barry and Jeff Kwatinez. Nick Copus directs and serves as co-executive producer. The series is produced by Fox 21.
